The Truth About Dragon’s Blood
Type “dragon’s blood” into a search bar and you’ll see everything from perfume oils to bright red soaps. Most of it is marketing fluff—synthetic fragrance passed off as sacred medicine.
But in the Amazon, Dragon’s Blood is something very different. It’s not a perfume. It’s not a candle. It’s not for show.
Dragon’s Blood—known traditionally as Sangre de Drago—is the raw crimson sap of the Croton lechleri tree. Indigenous healers have relied on this resin for centuries to stop bleeding, seal wounds, strengthen the immune system, and protect the spirit.
When you’ve seen it tapped fresh from the tree—bleeding like a living wound—you understand. Dragon’s Blood isn’t symbolic. It’s literal medicine.
What Dragon’s Blood Really Is
Many people ask, what is dragon's blood? It is the lifeblood of the Croton lechleri tree. When the bark is intentionally cut, the tree releases a bright red resin. This “blood” is collected with care and prepared into tincture form, making it easy to integrate into daily practice.
- Appearance: Rich, crimson liquid—hence the name.
- Taste: Bitter, earthy, astringent.
- Action: Nature’s bandage, shield, and cleanser.
The resin itself contains powerful compounds like taspine and phenols, which modern research shows support wound healing, fight inflammation, and stimulate immune defenses. Indigenous cultures didn’t need lab studies—they already knew this medicine worked.
Traditional Uses of Dragon’s Blood
Among Amazonian tribes, Dragon’s Blood is carried as a multi-purpose healer:
- Wound care: Applied topically, it seals cuts, stops bleeding, and accelerates healing.
- Skin health: Used for bites, burns, rashes, and infections.
- Immune support: Taken internally in small doses, it fortifies the body against illness.
- Digestive aid: Known to tone the gut and restore balance after stomach upset.
- Spiritual protection: Used ceremonially to cleanse and shield the energy body after intense work.
This is why it’s called Dragon’s Blood. It’s fierce. It’s protective. It heals and defends in ways both physical and spiritual.
The Cost of Fake Dragon’s Blood
Here’s the problem: most people today have never actually touched real Dragon’s Blood.
What you find in shops labeled “dragon’s blood” is usually:
- Red-dyed oils or soaps that smell strong but do nothing.
- Cheap powders cut with fillers.
- Mass-harvested products with no prayer, no reciprocity, no medicine.
That’s empty product. Hollow, cosmetic, fake.
The difference matters, because if you’re looking for true healing, true cleansing, and true protection, fragrance won’t cut it. You need the plant.

The Cost of Hollow Dragon’s Blood (Experience the Difference)
When Dragon’s Blood is fake, you can tell. It smells strong, but nothing shifts. Your body doesn’t respond. Your spirit doesn’t feel protected. Next time you pick up old, cheap dragon's blood. Ask yourself, what is dragon's blood?
That’s the cost of hollow Dragon’s Blood—it looks right, but it does nothing.
Here’s the difference Four Visions protects:
-
Perfume vs. medicine
Fragrance oils don’t heal wounds or cleanse energy. Our tincture does. -
Exploitation vs. reciprocity
Mass-market Dragon’s Blood strips land and culture. Four Visions gives back—funding Indigenous projects, protecting ancestral lands, and preserving sacred traditions. -
Empty ritual vs. living practice
Most products are burned or bottled with no intention. Ours carries prayer, lineage, and potency. That’s why you feel the shift when you use it.
